Ananda Valley Farm is a new small organic farm (started in 2013) with CA-certified organic produce. Our CSA program runs from May-November. Our specialties:
• Freshly harvested organic produce, just 1-2 days before you receive it (some CSAs can harvest a fair amount longer before you receive)
• Harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, for peak nutritional value
• Restorative, no-till agriculture
• Class 1 soil – the best soil in the world for growing quality food
• Most of our management team and many of our interns are meditators
We’ve been growing fast, from 75 subscribers in 2015 to 150 planned in 2016. We have 5 pick-up points for CSA boxes in Half Moon Bay, Palo Alto, and Mountain View, and more may be coming in 2016. You can learn more or sign up at:http://www.anandavalleyfarm.com

Here are a few that either have pick-up locations or deliver to the Watsonville area:
